Georges Aperghis: Lignes De Fissures

The new release with works by Georges Aperghis invites you on a musical journey into the intermediate world of sound, language and movement. With Tingel Tangel, Merry go round, Sur le fil and Ligne de fissure, the French-Greek composer once again demonstrates his masterful talent for playing with identity, emotion and abstraction. A music unfolds between dance-like motorisation, mechanical disruption and poetic fragility that challenges both physically and intellectually. At the centre is the accordion and - less frequently in Aperghis' work - the cimbalom. Both instruments create a connection to imaginary folkloristic soundscapes that are reminiscent of Bartok, without being specifically localised. 'I wanted the music to sound folkloric without you knowing which country it comes from,' says Aperghis about Tingel Tangel, a series of whimsical miniatures with a theatrical undertone - a homage to Schumann, circus figures and cabaret abysses. Soprano Angele Chemin, accordionist Vincent Lhermet and cimbalom player Francoise Rivall give the music a lively multidimensionality through their highly precise and expressive playing. They are not only interpreters, but also co-creators of these 'fragile dramaturgies', in which every sound, every gesture is part of an intense interaction. Whether in the reduced, tense chromaticism of Ligne de fissure or in the fragile, virtuoso Sur le fil - the 'human being' always remains at the centre. Aperghis' music is a balancing act between freedom and structure, between risk and poetry, full of humour, abysses and a longing for expression.
